So I decided to make these easiest ever, 3-ingredient Peanut Butter Blossoms! The classic way of making these peanut butter blossom cookies is to make a peanut butter dough from scratch, roll balls of the peanut butter dough in sugar, bake, and then put the kiss on the cookie. That's how my mom always made them when we were little. However, most days I don't have time to make a peanut butter cookie dough from scratch. So the magic here is using PREMADE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH. Yes. Not fancy. But a fantastic shortcut. And still so, so delicious. Sometimes we need shortcuts in our lives. And this shortcut means you only need three ingredients to make these delicious peanut butter cookies. What are peanut butter blossoms?Peanut butter blossoms are just peanut butter cookies that are rolled in sugar, then after they come out of the oven, a Hershey's kiss is pressed into the center of the cookie! The bottom of the kiss gets slightly melted from the warmth of the cookie, but the kiss retains its signature shape. This makes for delicious, unique chocolate peanut butter cookies. Ingredients

How to make the 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter BlossomsMaking the peanut butter blossoms is so easy and just uses three ingredients! First, you unwrap 24 kisses so you have them handy. (And maybe a few extras for snacking on!) Then you simply roll up peanut butter dough into balls, using the warmth of your hands to shape them properly. After that, it's as easy as rolling each peanut butter dough ball in some sugar, and then placing on a cookie sheet and baking (I use parchment paper or a silpat mat on my baking sheet). Pro-tip: For the cookies to keep more of their shape and not spread as much, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking. (Don't have room for the cookie sheet? Put the rolled dough balls on a plate, then transfer to the cookie sheet after the 10 minutes). After the peanut butter blossom cookies are done baking, immediately stick a chocolate kiss into the center of each one. The bottom of the chocolate will melt a little from the warmth of the cookie, but the shape of the kiss should stay intact. It makes for a delicious cookie bite! After a couple of minutes, remove cookies from the baking sheet and put on a cooling rack or wire rack to cool. Looking for more dessert recipes?

All ovens cook differently. If you're using a nonstick baking sheet, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F, and cook for 2-3 minutes longer (so 12-15 minutes). Pro-tip: For the cookies to keep more of their shape and not spread as much, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes before baking. (Don't have room for the cookie sheet? Put the rolled dough balls on a plate, then transfer to the cookie sheet after the 10 minutes). Tag @foodbanjo on Instagram and share your photos! |
